Tronox Legacy Building Solutions offers the
first line of fabric buildings to incorporate
structural steel beams instead of
open web trusses. This concept provides
a high level of flexibility for processing
and storage of bulk material,
vehicle maintenance facilities, and
other structures for mining operations.
The buildings utilize a durable solid
steel frame in place of hollow-tube,
open web truss framing traditionally
used for fabric buildings. Unlike hollow
tube steel, Legacy’s solid structural
steel beams are not vulnerable to
unseen corrosion originating inside a
tube. Additionally, the structural steel
has multiple coating options, including
hot dip galvanizing, red oxide primer
and powder coat paint. The strength of
the structural steel frame provides several
engineering advantages, including
the ability to relocate buildings by towing
or crane. The solid frame also delivers
the flexibility to customize buildings
beyond the confines of standard
shapes and sizes to the exact width,
length and height required.
Legacy’s straight sidewall design
allows for the inclusion of a variety of
overhead doors, exit doors and dormers
along the sides. Structures can be modified
to provide desired eave extensions
and interior columns. They also can be
engineered to carry ancillary systems
that need to be suspended, including
overhead cranes, fire suppression systems,
ventilation and lighting.
